After almost two weeks we finally get another episode out, but this one should be worth the wait. We have our first guest discussion session (@MaxFlight from the Airplane Geeks Podcast) and we have our first interview (Carlo Santoro from the Flight Experience Melbourne 737 simulator). In addition to all this, we also discuss the following topics:

Bodies of the passengers on the Airlines PNG Twin Otter crash at Kokoda are [...]

A new look and a delayed episode

Tags: delay, status, update

Those of you who’ve been following our site prior to now will notice that we’ve (finally) revamped the site’s theme, moving from something bland and hard to follow to a much better layout and colour scheme. We’ve also highlighted the iTunes subscription and RSS feed links towards the top right hand side of the page. This should help to address the hassles some folks have had finding our feeds.
Unfortunately, our [...]

Episode 5: Jet Lag Recovery

Tags: Accident, AirAsiaX, Airlines PNG, Australian Aviation, Bankstown, Delta, DHC-6, Eaker AFB, Fiji, Jetstar, Kokoda, Landing Gear, Laser pointer, Leo Laporte, Malaysian Airlines, MAS, Pacific Blue, Papua New Guinea, QANTAS, Regional Airlines, RFDS, Royal Flying Doctor Service, SimpliFlying, Tiger Airways, Twin Otter, TWiT, V Australia, Virgin Blue, Woolworths, YSBK

Steve’s back from his trip to the USA and, despite some jet lag woes, he’s in the recording studio and the banter is flowing in our longest episode yet. Sadly, the first 15 minutes sound like Grant’s testing NASA’s new Interplanetary Internet and experiencing a really crappy connection. Not to worry, it soon clears up and the rest of the episode quite clearly reveals our usual commentary on this week’s [...]

Spreading the Word

Tags: iTunes, odeo, podcast alley, podfeed.net

In addition to having our feed going through iTunes and our web site here, we’ve also gone to a number of other podcast listing sites, including Odeo, PodFeed.net and Podcast Alley.

This week’s episode comes out a little late as Steve’s still in the USA and Grant was up in Sydney for the PCDU / SimpliFlying TweetUp that happened along side the Asia / Pacific Aviation Outlook Summit 2009. A great time was had by all who attended the event but now it’s back to work as there’s news to read, interviews to arrange and a podcast to produce.
This week’s episode [...]

Greetings Oshkosh, 2009

Tags: Airspeed, oshkosh, oshkosh 2009, podapalooza

A recent event at Oshkosh has been the Podapalooza “gathering of aviation podcasters” where attendees get to meet some of the voices in their heads. Much as we would have loved to go to Oshkosh this year and attend Podapalooza, it’s a long long way to swim from down here so all we could do was listen to the other podcasters talking about how they were going and gnash our [...]
